(NEWSER) – There has been no shortageof criticism surrounding the release of Bowe Bergdahl, and a now-deleted tweet is joining the roster of things being picked apart. As theWashington Post reports, Bergdahl's father, Bob, last week tweeted the following: "I am still working to free all Guantanamo prisoners. God will repay for the death of every Afghan child, ameen." Though it has since been scrubbed from Twitter—without explanation, though the media has asked—it was apparently directed at a Taliban rep and was posted only four days before news of the prisoner exchange broke. And it has some of those critics railing against the Bergdahls and their perceived "contempt for their own country," writes the Post.
